I have laughed all the way through this thread, its brilliant :rotfl:.
Thought it was about time I added a few off my own -- When you tell your mom you just want money for Xmas but she buys you loads of books you've wanted, because she knows you will sell them after you've read them, so benefit twice (Mom you're an angel :A)
- When your family ask on boxing day if you've sold any of your presents yet and are really shocked that you haven't (resisted the temptation to say that they had all be listed though!)
- When you see the outbreak of swine flu as an ideal time to book a holiday to mexico, saving £100's - and if you have to be quarantined at home afterwards well thats ideal eBaying time!
- When your boyfriend automatically adds his change to the correct change jar when he comes round, asks if we have enough vouchers for a meal out and worries about staying still for too long in case he is listed on eBay.

When you refuse to buy Loo roll in the Spar- because you have seen it cheaper elsewhere- even if the other shops aren't open today- there is old newspaper..hehe.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
... when you phone your friend and make up an excuse for not going over coz you have exactly the right amount of fuel to last you getting to work next week and she lives 2 gallons away!
..... when you swear you have only been on MSE for an hour or so and then you realise that everyone else has gone to bed and it's nearly 3am .... thought it was getting chilly!
This has to be the funniest and strangely most inspirational thread on MSE! :rotfl:** Official DFW Nerd Club Member 009**
